>Description:
In /etc/skel, i have a directory "htdocs". I also have a symlink of public_html to htdocs. When I use /usr/sbin/pw to create a user, the home directory contains htdocs and public_html as directories, not public_html as a symlink to htdocs.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a symlink to a directory in /etc/skel.
Create a user.
Check home directory.
